As was mentioned a few posts ago, it's intended to be an ongoing plotline that you weave into your normal campaign.  So you find something about the Tomb around level 10, and do part of it, then go on with your other adventures.  Then you revisit it later, over a number of trips, interspersed with whatever else you may be up to.  I like that idea.  It is my understanding that it is not going to be as deadly as it was originally.  For me, that's good, because it might make the adventure usable as part of an ongoing campaign.  On the other hand, it's less true to the step-and-die philosophy of the original.  If you want a truly killer dungeon for use with one-shot characters, maybe doing your own conversion would be better.  Maybe the published adventure will include suggestions on how to raise it to that level, although it does seem unlikely.  If you like the good old 1E version (and who doesn't? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />), then just run that.  I have fond memories of getting out of there with a rogue and a druid as the sole survivors out of 10 starting characters (we each went in with 2).  My druid cast stone to mud on the ceiling as we were running from the demi-lich, turning a massive amount of corridor into mud behind us.  We lost at least one person to traps on the way out, but two of us survived.   This run was deliberately done with no use of meta-game knowledge.  We didn't go in prepared to fight a demi-lich.  That monster was invented for this module IIRC, so there was no way the characters would know the very limited and specific tactics needed to take it out.  It was essentially unbeatable.  It was fun, but did break some rules.  The monk was pissed when he touched a tapestry and immediately died and turned to green slime.  He had another character, but sulked anyway.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
